I would recommend the community to others

The experience so far has been 5 stars. The staff are friendly and helpful. The care has been wonderful. They have activities everyday and even take them outside. The room is on the smaller side bc it's a companion room, but it is clean and neat.

Felt very welcome after meeting [name removed]. She spoke with us for some time and led our tour. We found out that they did have a studio on the first floor that was near to the dining rooms and the activity room. This was important to us as my father-in-law is 100 years old. We left a deposit before we left. There are no hidden fees like we have seen in other facilities. Apartment cost, level of care cost, and cable TV. That's it.

They promised and assured the best dementia Care and it lasted less than 24 hours.

Trust should never be manipulated or monetized but that is exactly what ocurred at Mt. Arlington' s Memory Care Unit. . Overall experience : We were blindsighted by the unprofessionalism and "bait and switch" treatment 2.Cleanliness- average 3. Friendliness- line staff seemed friendly 4. Quality of care- poor. The facility sold itself as trained and prepared for dementia patients with behavioral challenges however that was not the case on day one. An aide came into my husband's room and woke him up to change him in the bathroom . She insisted he get out of bed. He was only in the facility for hours. He was understandably disoriented and resisted, as she was a stranger to him trying to get his pants off in the bathroom. She was clearly untrained how to deal with dementia patients as to her approach. This was even supported by the Administrative Director, who was dismissed that week. He assured us, prior to the admission, that their staff was well trained and more than capable to deal with an agitated patient. 5. Administrative Staff- Oversight and accountability was poor. Trust was broken. We met with them and were very transparent regarding our concerns about staff training with such a specialized population and were assured over and over again that they could handle everything. This was not the case on day one. Trust was broken immediately. They sent my husband to the Emergency as he fell in the bathroom while struggling to return to bed. I received a call from the Director to tell me they are evaluating his return. It took one week to make that decision with no return calls from the Director of Nursing or any other Administrative Staff and leaving us in limbo. what happened to the assurance that led us to trust them with our loved one? All calls went through the front desk and "Administrative Staff" were rarely available to answer. 6. Food- seemed fair. 7. Activities- not sufficient for a memory care unit. 8. Value for money- This facility accepted thousands of dollars for their services and thousands of dollars to furnish his room with furniture and necessary materials needed. It took months to get less than half the $$$ $ we gave them for one day of service.

I would give Mr Arlington Sr living a 1 for all categories. Had a terrible experience there. Their inability or outright decision to not teach their aides etc how to deal with aggressive behavior exhibited by dementia residents They charged me almost [fee removed] per day to hire someone to sit outside the door to my husband's room to monitor his behavior

Highly recommended for your loved ones.

Staff was amazing. Very attentive. My mom loved them all. Activities were endless. The 3:00 happy hour with music was a favorite. My mom is a picky eater. She was never satisfied with the food. They did offer an alternative menu which was nice.

Overall, a really nice community wish we could've stayed longer

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food could use a bit of improvement. There was a good variety of activities planned, and nice areas to explore in your free time such as a library and game room.

Overall a good place

Very clean and my Fathers only real complaint is the food. Some of front desk staff are super friendly. One is particularly grumpy and seems put out at times. Also a few tenants that have been there for a long time are a little outspoken at times. I wish they had a place to walk. The entrance is a huge hill.

Simple put, FANTASTIC,

It is an absolute surprise, I love it there. The team is great and attentive, the food is excellent. What I like the most is the visible connection of the team. Each person makes visual contact. The food is great. The entire experience is like one is going on vacation and feel like you will be walking into the back where there will be a swimming pool with a bar in the pool. The response on inquiry is faster than most places. I love it there. Sincerely [name removed]

Review for Mt. Arlington Senior Living

The facility is clean and I am pleased with the majority of the staff. They are good to my mom which is the most important point. The food needs improvement as well as the activities for the residents, especially the crafts. More activities should be directed to the male population. Smoking is allowed on one side of the front porch but there is no barrier to separate it. Therefore, the wind blows it which bothers some residents. I would recommend the facility because they do not nickel-and-dime you like other facilities.

The staff is friendly and courteous. The facility has a front porch but it would be nice if there was a larger space for residents to enjoy the outdoors. My father-in-law tells us that the food is not so good, not much flavor and meat is tough. He does seem to like the breakfasts.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know New Jersey’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about New Jersey’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
